Ages Six to Eight

Overview

Get your hands dirty investigating solids and liquids. Create your own animal and describe how its design aids in its survival. Develop an appreciation for cultures by reading "Cinderella" stories from around the world. Dress like a pirate and go on a "Measure Hunt". Practice math skills at a "Home Carnival".

The Age 6-8 curriculum constitutes one year of academic instruction.

In the 6-8 year-old curriculum, your child will explore all subject areas using a hands-on and investigative approach. Oftentimes, homeschoolers are only taught reading, writing, and math during the early years, but a truly comprehensive curriculum will expose them to science and social studies as well. These subjects can be the most engaging and exciting for a young child. The curriculum is also filled with quality literature to enjoy with your child.

Because all lessons are based on state and national standards, your child will learn all of the necessary skills for their age. Age 6-8 curriculum assumes that your child is able to read simple texts. Each child will continue to be challenged to read and write at a higher level.

Prerequisites

  • Able to read simple text.
  • Able to write simple sentences.
  • Recognize, understand, and write numbers 1-100.

    What Else Do I Need?

    While there are many phonics and whole language experiences built into each unit, Moving Beyond the Page does not teach the mechanics of reading. You can decide on a program or supplement with texts at your child's reading level.

    At the Age 6-8 level Moving Beyond the Page includes many applied math activities. These activities help children to see math as it can be applied in real-life situations, but they do not take the place of a structured math curriculum. We recommend RightStart Math as a program very complementary to Moving Beyond the Page.

    Moving Beyond the Page encourages character development - kindness, honesty, and respect for authority. Even though we are not a religious curriculum, it would be easy to supplement each unit with religious stories and lessons. For example, when studying communities, you can talk about how God wants you to show kindness to everyone in your community.

    Purchased together, these four concepts form a comprehensive year long curriculum. Individually they can supplement any existing curriculum.
